With the school starting I thought it was time to add to the eduction blogroll, and I thought I would share my new additions since parents should really tune in to teacher blogs to get an idea concerning what is really going on in education.

Here are 14 (I just couldn’t stop at 13) education blogs to visit, and I have plenty more in the sidebar under “history” and “education.”

I could've given a description for each one, but part of the fun is to click through and enjoy exploring these new places on your own.

I've spent the summer learning ALL about Pennsylvania's laws concerning educating gifted kids, and I know there's way more to learn. I'll definitely be checking these folk out, as well as others in your blogroll.

I'm so glad so many of you agree with me. Most parents only hear from the media, from the legislators and other politicians, and groups with an agenda.

One of the best things a parent can do today is to read education blogs. You'll discover wonderful things are going on, but you will also see many of the negative effect that heavy legislation brings to the interaction between teacher and student. You will also discover that many of the problems in education are not regional in scope, but cover the nation.

If you are a parent make an effort this year to visit two, three, or more eductator blogs and make them a regular read.

A great list of links...it's such an important job (and such an important subject). I find myself wishing I'd paid more attention to my world history courses in high school because they turned out to matter a lot in my work (must admit, I enjoyed my American history courses).

You might enjoy our T13, which is a list of American political scandals, including the Aaron Burr case, teapot dome, and others...
